[opensuse] 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade possible?

When I first installed openSuSE 10.2 on my dual 64-bit machine, I had
problems with it reading the DVD, so I gave up and I've been using the
32-bit version.
With the move to 10.3, I'm considering trying the 64-bit version once
more, and am downloading the RC1 DVD image now.
Will I be able to do an upgrade from my installed 32-bit system to a
64-bit system? I'm assuming that my data files will all remain (like my
email store), but just executable bits will be replaced. Is that true,
or will I need to reinstall and reconfigure all my applications?
If it's going to mean serious pain, I'm happy to stick with a 32-bit
installation, as I'm only using 2 GB of ram anyway. I'm more or less
interested in a 64-bit system for the curiosity factor -- I've not had
or used one before.
